Animated PM icon

[bhunted]

Here is a Donate button for yaz too in case you would like to take donations...

Anibody know how to make an animated button to the default theme RC2, like this one that we are using here on the bloczone?

I already have put the button next to the members buttons called "DoaÇÃÆ'Ã,µes" and i want to know if it is possible  to make this one (DoaÇÃÆ'Ã,µes) animated and if i can how.


Thank you very much to you all.

another way....

YourTheme/index.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand


// Only tell them about their messages if they can read their messages!
if ($context['allow_pm'])
echo ', ', $txt[152], ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], ' ', $context['user']['messages'] != 1 ? $txt[153] : $txt[471], '</a>', $txt['newmessages4'], ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'], ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'] == 1 ? $txt['newmessages0'] : $txt['newmessages1'];
echo '.';


Afer Add:

Code Select Expand


// Show Flashy icon if user has new messages but forget the guests
if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] && $context['user']['unread_messages'])
      echo '
<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=pm"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/gif.gif" border="0" />(' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . ')</a> ' . $context['menu_separator'] . '';

SMF has a mod for this now..goes in the Default Theme.

I have edited the tportalblock.template.php (which is where it is handled for me anyway).  This is under the user block.

Find:

Code Select Expand

                   if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
                        echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a style="font-weight: bold; " href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' .$txt['tp-pm2'].' ',$context['user']['unread_messages'] , '</a>';
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

                   if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
                        echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a style="font-weight: bold; " href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' .$txt['tp-pm2'].' ',$context['user']['unread_messages'] , ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/msg.gif" border="0"><bgsound src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/Mail01.wav" border="0"></a>';

I couldn't attach the wav file, but you can easily find your own.  Just make sure to change the file name in the above code so it will work.

That is indeed handy and a bit creative as well.

Plus using the portal blocks it is a lot easier...most themes use the default one so there is less editing to be done than if it was through the index.template

Exactly..now go get in shape..

I did...it is round...

Thanks for posting this, added it to my boards.  Interestingly, the sound does not work in FF.  However, does work in both IE and Opera. ?? .
